m I have a 96 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71...A few weeks ago I cracked my transmission housing...I have no clue how it happened but it did...I have a 4L60E ( slightly different from the 99+ models)...Does any1 know where I can find a used or rebuilt transmission for $700 or less... I found 1 but it has like 140,000 miles on it..
I need help...any suggestions? I just wanna hear something b/c im losing faith
Where did you crack the transmission? Did you install some servos and not get them in correctly? It happens. You can get a new transmission housing and have your parts put into it if they're still good. Transmissions are plentiful in salvage yards and you should have no problem finding one locally. You can always order an FLT level 5 transmission and be done with trans mods for a very long time.
Well I cracked it to bad to get it weilded and I'm having problems finding a housing for it...The transmission is good but the housing isnt..If i could find a housing that would be great.
I can feel your pain. Some of those cases are hard to find. I'm assuming that you have a 6 bolt inspection cover, Lugs on the side of the case for the neutral switch and probably 2 lugs to mount the shifter cable bracket. I needed one a while back and an empty case was a lot of money as far as I am concerned. Especially since I usually buy cores for less than that. If you can get some pictures of the case and I will see what I can do. Also look at the side of the trans for the trans code. Here is a picture of where to look for the ID on your unit. This is a fbody core but you get the idea. Where did the case break? You might want to check your drive shafts(especially the front one) to make sure that the slip joints are not froze.

The transmission is exactly the 1 ur talking about...With the 2 lug mount shifter cable...I'll have to go look for my ID in a few. I cracked where the driveshaft bolts up to it...It cracked all the way around...It also sent very small cracks up towards where the trans bolts to the motor...The little cracks arent long but the damage was done around the driveshaft area.
